Tonight was Jordyn's annual piano recital for her piano students. Every year I am more amazed at my daughter's abilities at teaching piano. When she was in 9th grade her pianon teacher Yvonne Andrus challenged her to become a teacher and said that it would help her in her own abilities to play. That was 7 years ago and she is still teaching. She loves it and loves her students! It's funny because as her life gets busier, she questions whether she can give it up, and she always tells me "I can't, I love it too much" Her students are very lucky to have her as their teacher, and I think after talking to some of them, they realize it too.
Easton started taking piano from Jordyn in September, and even though we've had our ups and downs, he has done very well. He had his song memorized, even though for security purposes, he brought the music.
He played very confidently and we were all very proud of him.
"My name is Easton Whittaker and I will be playing Jingle Bells" Jordy was trying to convince him to do a curtsy, but Dad stopped that one immediately!
Jordy stood and welcomed the audience with such confidence. She has really grown from this experience of teaching piano. She has learned responsibility, dependability, tolerance, patience, and love for others. She has also learned to save her money. In August of 2009, she bought a new car and in August of 2010, she paid it off, thus learning how great it feels to have no debt. We are so proud of her!
